On Friday the 23rd... I was feeling bad. My asthma was flaring up due to the deep cough that Michael had so kindly given to me. I left work early and headed over to Urgent Care. It turns out that being pregnant is like a line pass at Urgent Care. I was taken right back. They gave me a breathing treatment and prescribed lots of rest and lots of fluids.
So I did what any pregnant, sick girl leaving Urgent Care would do... I headed over to Sam Boyd Stadium to see U2!!!
My super awesome boss got us tickets at the last minute and there was just no way that I was going to miss this show. First, I've never seen U2 live and second, it's not very often that they come to town. It was an outdoor show on a beautiful night. So I took my sick ass to the concert. Was it my brightest move? Probably not. Was it worth it? Hell yes!
The stage was incredible. It was designed as a 360 degree stage (although I did feel bad for the people behind the stage because I didn't really think they utilized the back that much...) The video screens in the center of the stage did all kinds of crazy stuff and moved all over.
Here's us before U2 came on. You can see that the breathing treatment did wonders for me.
Here's me and my friend Shannon.
Due to my pregnancy, beer at a concert is out for me. So I supplemented with food. This was a sausage sandwich. I think I also ate hot pretzels and possibly a hot dog. Hey... food is all I have.
The highlight for me was when they played "One"! It's an inside joke between myself, Kevin, my favorite person in L.A. and my favorite person in the Virgin Islands.
Overall, the show was killer. Bono is a true rockstar. He is larger than life. The band played nearly everything I wanted to hear. Was it my brightest moment, heading to a concert straight from Urgent Care? No. But I wouldn't change a thing!
